Biography
Procopius the Decapolite (died 8th century) was an 8th-century monk from Constantinople who was tortured during the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Leo the Isaurian. Together with Saint Basil, he was imprisoned for venerating sacred images and was released after the emperor's death in 741. The Orthodox Church venerates him on February 27, the day he was traditionally born, and grants him the title of "confessor," a term indicating not martyrdom, but the heroic confession of faith.
